Throughout the year, our Business Ethics class focused on a multitude of cases from the last century whose lack of ethics overall led to fraudulent and legal charges. Case after case, the common denominator was an unethical tone set from the leaders of these companies. Business executives have a duty to set a precedent to their employees and the public to hold the business community to a higher standard. These leaders have the power to grow a business to success or send their companies spiraling.

"There's no such thing as business ethics; there's just ethics. And ethics makes no concessions for the real or imagined necessities of making a profit."​- Michael Josephson

After studying these large companies and the government, our class took a trip to Washington D.C. and NYC in order to meet with some of these top executives and learn more about the businesses on Wall Street and leaders who push for change in policy. ​
